Overview
The North Carolina Dept. of Transportation GIS Unit produces a substantial amount of GIS and imagery data and in many cases this data is available for download. The list of data below from NC DOT is not all-inclusive, but includes data that people often do not realize can be downloaded from DOT's website.
